Katie Hopkins’ biggest celeb fallouts – Big Brother clash, insults and lawsuit

She has been dubbed the ‘most hated woman in Britain’ with her feisty opinions and acid tongue.

But whether you love her or loathe her, Katie Hopkins has been one of the most talked about broadcasters in recent history. First finding fame on The Apprentice, she has since gone on to spew a mass of controversial opinions in every direction.

However, despite the controversy she carries with her, a number of famous faces have had some rather public run-ins with the former Sun columnist. Hopkins’ brash approach has led to in-person spats with some of the most well-known stars in the country.

So, as Katie once again embroils herself in another scandal, Daily Star looks at some of Katie Hopkins’ biggest fallouts with other celebrities.

Kate Garraway

In early 2024, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway revealed the devastating news that her husband Derek Draper had passed away. Derek, who had been facing a multitude of health problems after contracting COVID at the beginning of the pandemic, suffered a heart attack whilst receiving treatment – a cardiac arrest from which he would never recover.

Whilst the nation as a whole expressed an outpouring of grief for the presenter, 56, and paid tribute to Derek, Katie did not think to do so. Instead, Hopkins took to Instagram to launch a vile rant on how Kate would supposedly go on to release a book and a documentary trying to cash in on her husband’s death.

The video sparked immense backlash from even Katie’s own fans, who admitted that she had gone too far. She also had a run-in with TalkTV host Piers Morgan about the incident, where he described her as a “disgrace”.

Katie would go on to continue to attack Kate and Piers as she tried to argue her point. However, she continued to receive a barrage of hate towards her for her awful opinions on Derek’s tragic death.

Perez Hilton

Katie brought millions of people in to Channel 5 as she participated on the winter 2015 edition of Celebrity Big Brother. Amongst the other housemates placed in the house with her was celebrity gossip Perez Hilton.

Hilton would go on to wreck havoc on the House, with the housemates being split into two camps – one supporting Perez and the other supporting Katie, who took it upon herself to take him down. The pair would often get into heated arguments, culminating in a tense day where Perez argued he would take his life if he were Katie’s child.

Perez would eventually be evicted from the House, with Katie going on to finish in second place behind Katie Price. Speaking to Emma Willis about living with Perez in her exit interview, Katie did not hold back: “I think it was good that I was in there to be his adversary, to take him on […] and any time that I felt he was picking on someone, I would take him on – and I kind of enjoyed that role.”

Lily Allen

Singer Lily Allen was another high-profile celebrity to have a public spat with the former reality star. The pair have been at the centre of multiple bust-ups online after Katie hit out at Lily for putting on weight after having children.

Katie, in one of her vile columns attacked Allen, describing her as a “short-a** mother in big pants”, after Lily shared an intimate clip of her dancing in Spanx. Lily came back to Hopkins, branding Katie a “fat shaming, woman hating, moral high ground f***tard”.

Hopkins once again found herself to be the butt of the joke, after several other celebs stood up for Allen and attacked Katie on her need for attention. After the awkward spat on Twitter, Lily posted a photo and tagged the columnist, writing: “Just going to the shop, you want anything Katie?”.

Jack Monroe

Perhaps the most well-known of Katie’s controversial takes, the loudmouth was embroiled in a legal battle with chef Jack Monroe in 2017. Katie had posted a vile Tweet aimed at Monroe accusing them of vandalising a memorial.

Jack, however, took Katie to court on account of defamation, after Katie refused to publicly apologise and issue a £5k donation to a refugee rescue charity. Following a lengthy court battle, the judge found in favour of Monroe, and awarded them £24k in damages and £107k in legal costs.

Katie was unable to pay Jack fully within the time period and as a result, was forced to sell the family home in order to make reparations. Monroe revelled in the wake of the case, tweeting a photoshopped image of Katie as the Virgin Mary, with the caption: “The Jesus of the outspoken”.
